Her academy prepared her for battle. But is she ready to fight when danger emerges from the murky forest?
The House of Matchsticks is calling ...
Sixteen-year-old Isaline is under massive pressure. Only alive thanks to Death's intervention when she was a baby, she's too shy to speak up when there's an attempt to steal her mysterious red pendant at school. And getting so emotional that she fails her crucial weapons review, things worsen when she runs into a suspicious but intriguing thief.
Forced to work together to survive the threats of the wilderness, Isaline is surprised to be hitting it off with the rogue. But there's little time for sparks to fly as her unusual necklace attracts bold treasure hunters, two-faced spies, and ferocious beasts ... all in search of the fabled House of Matchsticks.
Can this strong young warrior graduate her final year before she succumbs to the clutches of evil?
